New photos from ‘The Hunger Games’ and ‘Byzantium’ released

Movie fans in Scottsdale are waiting for the release of The Hunger Games and Byzantium to theaters. On Monday, Collider shared new photos released for both films. Check out the photos here.

In The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence plays Katniss, and there have already been comparisons made between this book to film series and that of The Twilight Saga. However, after seeing the level of fame Twilight earned Kristen Stewart, the young actress does not want the same for herself. She said the following in a recent interview, according to Hollywood Life:

“I look at Kristen Stewart now and I think, ‘I’d never want to be that famous. I can’t imagine how I’d feel if all of a sudden my life was pandemonium.”

The actress are both the same age, but it is not yet known how popular The Hunger Games trilogy will become once it is released. Buzz ahead of the film has surpassed the buzz for The Twilight Saga though.

As for Byzantium, the plot for this film is described as “a story about two mysterious young women (played by Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan) who flee the scene of a violent crime, only to have their pasts catch up to them.”

Fans are buzzing about these films on social media. One fan said the following on Twitter recently:

Can it be March 23rd yet? #TheHungerGames #25DaysLeft

Scottsdale residents will be able to see The Hunger Games at the Harkins Fashion Square 7 or another local theater in the area on March 23. Byzantium does not have a release date yet.
